Thanks to a response by Rainer Hurling to a similar question in current@, I now know to use the mountprog option to specify hte program to be used to mount the filesystem. (This seems to completely override the fstype field in fstab, but I do use the closest one available.) This results in the following two extremely long fstab entries, the first for an NTFS fs and the second for the ExFAT one: /dev/ntfs/Windows7_OS /mnt/Windows7_OS ntfs rw,failok,uid=9381,gid=15,norecover,noatime,windows_names,late,mountprog=/usr/local/bin/ntfs-3g 0 0 /dev/ada0s5 /mnt/Media msdosfs rw,failok,uid=9381,gid=15,noatime,late,mountprog=/usr/local/bin/mount.exfat 0 0 I have to use the physical name of the ExFAT slice because the system fails to grok that fype and create an entry for /dev subdirectory for it. Thanks for the suggestions on resolving this one. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer, Retired E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com
